Twenty years ago, when most of us 90’s kids were still wetting our beds or running around the neighbourhood playing hide and seek or something, JK Rowling rolled out the first book which drove us straight into the magical world of Hogwarts. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone introduced the world to the wizarding trio of Harry Ron and Hermione, and most of our favourite characters, from Professor Snape to Professor McGonagall to Sirius Black to Rubeus Hagrid and Draco Malfoy.

In 2017, we at Scroll Droll reimagined what the cast of the Harry Potter would look like if it was made in Bollywood. Here are some of our favourite Harry Potter characters reimagined in Bollywood.

The Nephew Who Lived – Imran Potter

The Dumbest Witch of Her Age – Hermione Bhatt

The Son of Udit – Ron Narayan

The Quarter Blood Prince – Snape Menon

The Greatest Wizard in Bollywood – Naseeruddin Percival Dumbledore

The Mad Queen – Kangana Lestrange

He who was Always on Drugs – Voldemort Baba

Posh Cat Lady – Professor Minerva Azmi

The Prisoner from Wasseypur – Sirius Siddiqui

The Cutest Half-Giant – Satish Shagrid

So, that was our take on “What if Harry Potter Was made in Bollywood?” Let us know what you think of this reimagined cast, and which B-Town actors would you choose to be cast as Harry Potter characters in the comments section.

2018 has been quite an amazing year. The silver screen was lit, with movies like Black Panther, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers Infinity War. 2019 seems to promise more awesome movies for us.

2018 has been quite an amazing year. The silver screen was lit, with movies like Black Panther, Mission Impossible: Fallout, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers Infinity War. 2019 seems to promise more awesome movies for us. From fantasy to drama to horror 2019 will have something or the other for every kind of moviegoer. Here is our list of the 10 most anticipated Hollywood movies releasing in 2019

1. Glass

The jaw-dropping end of M. Night Shyamalan’s 2017 blockbuster Split was probably one of the greatest moments in movie history. Bruce Willis’s 10-second cameo, reprising the role of David Dunn, connected Split with Unbreakable (2009). Glass will be the third movie in the franchise and it will be centred around Mr Glass, portrayed by none other than ’the bad motherfucker’ Samuel L Jackson. Shyamalan’s movies are known for their unexpected twists, and we can only imagine what Glass will be like. Starring Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson and James McAvoy, Glass is set to release on 18th January 2019.

Shyamalan’s unconventional super-anti-heroes collide against each other on the big screen

2. Hellboy

Fans of Hellboy have a reason to revel, as a cinematic reboot of Mike Mignola’s comic book character is underway. The movie was initially planned as a sequel to the two Hellboy movies directed by Guillermo Del Toro, but that script was shelved due to Del Toro’s schedule. Starring Stranger Things breakout star David Harbour in the eponymous role, the Hellboy reboot will hit the theatres on 11th January 2019.

Hellboy and his red “Right Hand of Doom” will be back for vengeance once again

3. Captain Marvel

The post credit scene in Avengers: Infinity War confirmed the arrival of Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will be first female-led superhero movie in the MCU and Brie Larson is taking on the titular role. MCU president Kevin Feige has stated, “You’re going to get the most powerful superhero that we’ve ever introduced with, I think, one of the most unique and inspiring origin stories.” Captain Marvel is expected to release on 6th March 2019.

It’s about time that we had a female-led superhero movie

4. Toy Story 4

Pixar is bringing back our favourite astronaut and cowboy duo of Buzz and Woody back to the silver screen. The fourth instalment in the Toy Story franchise the movie will be a stand-alone sequel and not a continuation of the third film. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Anna Potts will be reprising their respective roles as Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Bo Peep. Toy Story 4 will be released in theatres on June 21st 2019.

The kid in you will definitely go crazy as Toy Story 4 will drive us down ‘nostalgia lane’.

5. John Wick Chapter 3

Keanu Reeves’s one-man army John Wick will be back for the third time. The first film of the franchise was released in 2014 and it sparked a frenzy among viewers with its intense action and insane-over-the-top-kills. The retired hitman seeking vengeance, John Wick kills a man with A PENCIL! Need we say more? It is one of the most anticipated movies of 2019 and will hit the theatres on May 17th, next year.

Mr Super-Sexy-One-Man-Army. Period.

6. X Men: Dark Phoenix

Sophie Turner’s role as Jean Grey, in 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse gave us a glimpse of what her character will transform into in the future. The next addition to the franchise X Men: Dark Phoenix will be based on “The Dark Phoenix Saga”. Sophie Turner, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Michael Fassbender will be reprising their respective roles as Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix, Professor Charles Xavier, Mystique/Raven and Magneto/Erik Lansherr. X men: Dark Phoenix is scheduled to release on February 14th 2019.

We’re super sure that Dark Phoenix is gonna be EPIC AF!!!!

7. Godzilla King of the Monsters

Ishirō Honda’s Gojira (Godzilla in English) kicked off the MonsterVerse in 1954; with over 33 films in the franchise has a complex universe. It has a fan base between more than two generations of people ever since its initial release. On May 31st 2019 the world will witness another tale of the might Godzilla: King of Monsters unfurling at theatres. Produced by Legendary Pictures the movie is definitely the most anticipated movie of the entire year.

The ‘King of Monsters’ will be back on the big screen to expand the MonsterVerse

8. Star Wars Episode IX

The latest addition to the ongoing sequel trilogy of the saga from a galaxy far far away… Star Wars Episode IX is set for release, towards the end of 2019. With the fate of the Resistance lying in the hands of just a few survivors aboard the Millenium Falcon, their allies scattered across the outer-rim and the First Order now under Kylo Ren’s command. Rey, Finn and Poe seem to be the last hope for the Resistance and we can’t wait for Episode IX to release, already.

“The Force is strong in this one”

9. Bond 25

Daniel Craig will reprise his role as James Bond in Bond 25 for one last time before the mantle is passed to someone else (we really hope its Idris Elba). The movie was supposed to be directed by Danny Boyle, but the official 007 twitter account(on 21st April 2018) confirmed that Boyle has departed from the film due to creative differences. The movie was set for release in October next year, but now we have no word from the company over the departure of the director. Yet, it is still a quite highly anticipated movie of 2019.

We’re really looking forward to Craig’s final run as the world’s coolest super spy

10. The New Mutants

We just can’t wait for the first horror-themed movie in the Mutant franchise

The first movie in the X-Men franchise produced under the premises of horror, The New Mutants. It will be focused on a group of young mutants held in a secret facility who fight back to save themselves. The New Mutants will bring characters like Wolfsbane, Magic and Cannonball (played by Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy and Charlie Heaton) to the silver screen. The New Mutants are a relatively lesser know team outside the comic book fan base of the Marvel multiverse, and the movie will open in theatres on August 2nd in 2019.

That brings us to the end of the list but here are some honourable mentions that will be hitting the theatre next year; DCEU’s Shazam! and Wonder Woman 1984, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Masters of the Universe, and Secret Life of Pets 2. Tell us about the movies you are waiting for in 2019 in the comments below.

Ant-Man and The Wasp perfectly resonated with the spirit of the previous ensemble of 18 movies that have come to define the totality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ant-Man and The Wasp perfectly resonated with the spirit of the previous ensemble of 18 movies that have come to define the totality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The movie’s intense visual depiction of the Quantum Realm poses a number of questions in the minds of the viewer. Is it a universe of its own? Is it a parallel universe? Or is it a parallel dimension? For answers, we’ll have to wait until early 2019, when Avengers 4 and Captain Marvel hit the theatres. As far as the plot of Ant-Man and the Wasp is loosely based on pre-Infinity War, it certainly explains why Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Jolie), Ant-Man and Wasp were missing from all the action. They’re on the run from the federal authorities post-Sokovia Accords, as Ant-Man sided with Captain America. Hank (Michael Douglas) and Hope develop a Quantum Tunnel in an attempt to rescue Hank’s wife, Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) stuck in the Quantum Realm.

The real climax of the movie lies in the mid-credit cliffhanger that has been executed with utmost perfection and impact. *Spoilers Ahead* We see, Hope, Janet and Hank Van Dyne and Scott on a roof, ready to collect ‘healing particles’ from the Quantum Realm. We learn that with Janet’s modification the Quantum Tunnel’s size had been reduced to fit in the back of a van. Now, it could transport a single person to the Quantum Realm. Amidst all the science fiction and comedy in the scene, there lies a subtle hint as to what we can possibly expect. Janet tells Scott not to get stuck in a time vortex moments before he is transported to the Quantum Realm and they are all turned to dust, as Thanos snaps his fingers at the end of Infinity War. This is where the movie ties itself to the larger picture of the MCU.

1. Janet’s warning to Scott: “Don’t get stuck in a time vortex”

Janet Van Dyne’s cryptic message, delivered right before Scott is sucked into the Quantum Realm suggests a concept that has not yet been explored in the MCU. From the two Ant-Man stand-alone films, we have learnt that in the Quantum Realm time does not work the same way it does in the real world. It is quite possible that Ant-Man could travel through time and affect the events of the upcoming Avengers 4 movie.

2. Scott encounters a past version of Janet in the Quantum Realm

With all the talk about time working differently in the Quantum Realm, we have not yet ruled out the possibility of time being non-linear in the Quantum Realm. This comes straight out the research on quantum physics which suggests, all times are happening simultaneously and physical locations in the Quantum Realm also correspond with different times. Basically, in simple terms, Quantum Realm’s weirdness creates an intersection between all those times and locations. It is possible that Scott encounters a younger version of Janet because of this theory. Janet will always be in certain places of the Quantum Realm as they are different points in time, even though she returned to the real world.

3. Ant-Man could pop-up in Captain Marvel

We know that next year’s Captain Marvel starring Brie Larsson is set in the 90’s. This fact is quite an unapologetic hint tied to the end of Ant-Man and the Wasp. The warning about time vortex could suggest that Scott uses one of these to go back in time or accidentally goes back in time and shows up doing Captain Marvel’s time. It’s difficult to guess whether Ant-Man will be playing a major role in the forthcoming movie, but its quite possible that he could have a mid or post-credit cameo in Captain Marvel.

4. Scott gives Captain Marvel the heads up about Thanos

The time vortex complexity again makes way for another theory which suggests that Ant-Man would travel to warn Captain Marvel about the impending doom brought about by Thanos. The problem with this theory is that when Scott is trapped in the Quantum Realm he had no idea about Thanos or about Thanos snapping his finger to end half the life in the universe. The counter to this argument is that falling into a time vortex is accidental and that one is not in control of where or when one might travel to. It is possible that Ant-Man travels to the future and learns something new about the Infinity Stones, or something about how to defeat Thanos and take the information to Captain Marvel.

5. Ant-Man’s encounter with a time vortex alters the MCU

If time travel is what time vortex might make possible, then it is quite possible that Scott makes a journey across time. A journey which could alter the face and fate of the MCU. A simple warning from the future could massively affect the MCU as we know that Thanos has been on the scene since the first Avengers movie. That hint could come from Ant-Man travelling through time. We can’t be sure as to how or where or when Scott will pop up when escapes the Quantum Realm. But we can surely guess that he will have a big part to play in the events of next year’s Avengers 4.

Ant-Man and the Wasp’s mid-credit scene which leaves you gasping for air, trying to make sense of what just happened. The scene smashes on to you like the Mjölnir, but it definitely makes you wonder how those events will unfurl in the future movies. Tell us what you think about the most interesting mid-credit scene that MCU has produced so far.

I don’t know about you but whenever I’m watching an award show (or any big-ticket event for that matter), the one thing I enjoy the most is celebrity appearances and their outfits on the red carpet. Celebs and their team of stylists spend weeks picking out the right look – from a fancy designer outfit to hair and make-up, just so that when they walk down that glorious red carpet, the shutterbugs go crazy. But alas, not every celeb gets their red carpet look right. From barely-there dresses to outfits that swallow celebs from top to bottom, we’ve seen our favorite superstars look like super-freaks on the red carpet many times. Here are 21 of the most bizarre looks that famous celebs rocked on the red carpet and left us feeling confused. We strongly advise against replicating any of these at your friend’s cocktail (or any event, anywhere).

1) Priyanka wearing a gigantic tent disguised as a trench coat The God of all memes.

2) Rihanna wearing an omelet How many eggs did it take to make this dress?

3) Miley Cyrus wearing what clearly looks like just duct tape You can get this look by visiting your local hardware store.

4) Sonam wearing a bigger tent to give PeeCee a run for her money (and also, tent) How do you go to bathroom wearing one of these?

5) Rihanna, umm, naked on the red carpet NSFW! NSFW! NSFW!

6) Toni Braxton using bandages to cover her modesty And failing at it.

With Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler as the leads in the film, PS I Love You is based on the 2004 novel of the same name by Cecelia Ahern. The story revolves around the characters of Swank and Butler, Holly and Gerry respectively who are a married couple deeply in love with each other. The story takes a dramatic turn when Gerry dies of a brain tumor and Holly realizes how much he meant to her as well as how insignificant their arguments were. The movie brings the first set of tears to the eyes when Holly receives a cake with a message from the deceased Gerry. This is first of the several messages that Gerry leaves behind for Holly all of them ending with “P.S. I Love You”. As the season pass each new message fills her with encouragement and sends her on a new adventure. Holly’s mother believes that Gerry’s letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but they are, in fact, pushing her into the future. With Gerry’s words as her guide, Holly slowly embarks on a journey of rediscovery.
We’ve compiled a list of some of the most touching dialogues from the movie here:

1. Love conquers all.

2. Finding a soulmate is the greatest feeling ever, and nothing else matters.

3. Nobody comes, nobody goes, nothing changes but love remains.

4. Try it once, you’ll surprise yourself.

5. You gotta move on because there will be someone who will love you even more.

6. (‘:

7. You have one shot at life, that’s all.

8. Life is a series of ups and downs. You must get right back up, every time you fall.

9. The gaps that people leave in our lives can never be bridged.

10. Sometimes we take time for granted, a little too much.

11. You will always be the same kid that you were in your early years.

We hope you liked the compilation and were as moved by the movie as we were. It is indeed a beautiful movie with a deeper perspective to love. Tell us what you think about the movie in the comment section.

Fight Club, for most of us, has been a movie that completely changed our outlook on life. Tyler Durden became our spirit animal and inspired us to find the real insights to our inner-self, something that has been dazed by the false perceptions of the world. A man split between himself and his alter ego has been painted amazingly by Chuck Palahniuk. The movie also takes a dig at consumerism and how it has tricked us into wanting things we never needed. We bring you 13 Fight Club quotes that’ll give you insightful-chills and make you think about the choices you’ve made.

1) You’re the purest at rock bottom. Free to make your own course.

2) Knowing what you want is easier said than done. Everything falls in place, once you know it.

3) The symbolic prison most of us are living in today…

4) Because that idea of perfection will keep changing, the more you have the more you want

5) Thought provoking. Yet as cynical as we get, we still want to keep up those appearances.

6) A great lesson to live by. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself. Don’t care about what others might think.

7) More importantly, what’re you gonna do about it

8) Sometimes to overcome one’s internal strife, one needs to break everything. Just the way Tyler turned around his unfulfilled life through self destruction.

9) In the metaphorical sense, it exposes you to your fears, it’s on you to take the pain and hit back.

10) Alas! The corporatized existence…

11) Hard for most to see…

12) Generations have gotten tricked into wasting their lives by consumerism. Watch it before it’s too late…

13) Unparalleled success comes to either those, who have everything to lose or to the ones who’ve got nothing

Most of the people around us are sapped of free will. Slaves with white collars, as the movie shows. If we can take a few lessons from this masterpiece and go beyond our fears of tomorrow, we might find a Tyler Durden within us.
